Can't reset my router R6220 / AC1200 Dual Radio
Hi all, So i am having some troubles with my R6220 router as when i want to reset it won't go to factory settings! I tried everything 7 second reset, 30-30-30 reset, long reset but unfortunally...
- Finally I managed to resolve this item as it looked like the R6220 was in a sort of AP mode that wouldn't grand me acces wired from oc to the r6220. How ever I went to the internet settings of my laptop and set an static IP adres using the default gateway settings on the r6220. Once I went to the browser from that moment on i got acces to the router and could set everything correct
I'm having a similar issue as you. I have internet access through the WiFi of the netgear router when connected to my ISP modem but I cant connect to the router itself to modify any settings over a LAN cable. I have tried an assortment of IPs. I have gone into my ISP modems connected device list and filtered all available connected devices.
Moreover, I am unable to reset the R6220. I press and hold the reset switch for 10 seconds and the device reboots but weirdly enough the WiFi SSID it's broadcasting just resumes.
Xavi2503 Can you elaborate how you were able to fix this?
Thanks

What is this ISP modem ? If it is a modem.router that would explain why you cant access it to modify settings.
Two routers on your network can cause headaches. For example, you can end up with local address problems. Among other things, the other router can misdirect addresses that the Netgear router usually handles, such as routerlogin.net or the usual IP address for a router, 192.168.1.1.
This explains some of the other drawbacks.

While I was troubleshooting, I had nothing but my laptop connected over ethernet.
It is running in AP mode and I've tried resetting it multiple times but it's stuck in this mode. It just refuses to reset.
To answer your question though, it was connected to a Jio Centrum Fibre ONT. I was actually meaning to switch that ONT to bridge mode.

Try a "factory reset".

"Jio Centrum Fibre ONT" says very litle about the actual hardware you are using. But a genuine ONT usually has no router functions and does not have a "bridge" mode.
